Have I cut myself - heck yeah, but while I don't enjoy it particularly, it won't stop me in the least. I may have put a couple of small permanent scars on my face but that's OK with me (last time wasn't too long ago - wife and kids around me egging me to hurry up to go out together + a vicious spike wasn't a good combination :eek: )
Nevertheless, I haven't used anything else on my face since my very first straight shave, and I don't want to.
